Lorinser CLK ~*~ For Sale???
OK... I found this and had to share with everyone here... Especially our fellow member 'Lorinser CLK' as this very much pertains to you
On ebay, we have: 2001 Mercedes Benz CLK 55 430
First of all, the guy doesn't even know if its a 430 or a 55 (but the 4.3L V8 gave it away).
Second of all, these pictures belong to Lorinser CLK, which is in Florida, and this guy is selling from Barstow.
I'm thinking this seller is out to scam, or, Lorinser CLK are you really selling your car?

Well, that is definitely my car but not my ad. I emailed the guy and asked a bunch of questions about the wheels and stereo etc. It should be interesting to hear his reply.

Well, he did admit that he stole or 'looted' the pics. 
"Vehicle Condition
Loot at pic. and...let me know your sugestion
"
so there's still some 'honesty' in him. /jk

Lorinser CLK, I say you bid on it and at the end of the auction when he request payment, you ask him how the hell does he plan to sell you your own car.

Here is the email I sent him:
What kind of TV is that? What size are the wheels and tires. I am very interested.
His Reply word for word was:
"The TV is a NEC , and the wheels are at 16 inch.
You can see the car before the money come to me !"
Funny, I didn't know Lorinser wheels came in 16". By the way, the TV is a Kenwood unit.

i just got screwed on Ebay, won an action for a new $500 Rockford Power HX2 subwoofer brand new for $75 because the guy screwed up his listing (i found it anyway) and forgot a reserve price, after a week and a half of him not contacting me (i left him countless emails), i left him negative feedback....well what do you know, mr scumbag appears with an email maybe 20 minutes after i left the feedback *****ing at me about leaving him negative feedback and he threatened to do to same to me. Well last i checked i didnt do anything wrong, he threatened me with legal action, blah blah blah.....i nicely told him to go f*ck himself.....so looks like some negative feedback for me, funny everyone else seems to think i am an honest Ebayer.....haha

Clearly fraud.
He bootlegged the pictures.
He cannot spell.
There is no meaningful payment information.
He has no seller feedback.
No reserve price.
He seems to be willing to sell a $40k car for $25K.
It seems to fit the old saying “If it seems to be to good to be true, then it is!”
I regularly buy on Ebay (small stuff mostly). Anybody know how to file a complaint or alert other bidders?
Who in their right mind would buy a $40K car from a seller with no feedback?

wow, scams on ebay....
that's why you should always be critical on the good deals on ebay.
Lorinser CLK:
but hey, think on the bright side, your car is nice enough that the person chose to use your car pictures, instead of other ppl's!!
i would be pretty proud actually!
